About Me

Designing with heart
& intention.

I'm Caira Blevins — a UX and product designer based in the New York metropolitan area. I earned my degree from the University of Michigan and bring a unique lens to design shaped by years of STEM teaching, violin playing, dance, and poetry.

Raised in Detroit, I carry a grit and determination that shapes everything I do — from designing STEM curricula tailored to each student's individual needs, to pushing through late-night design sprints with my team. That Detroit drive is why I fight for my communities in every product I touch, and why collaboration comes naturally to me. My work sits at the intersection of research, empathy, and craft — creating inclusive experiences for underrepresented communities and making technology feel human.
